    Change for Blackpool, as Callum Connolly comes on for Kevin Stewart in midfield.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    First time we've seen Josh Bowler get some space to build up a head of steam for Blackpool down the right.

    He throws in a body swerve to wrongfoot Jack Colback, and a touch inside sees off Scott McKenna, but his left-foot sweep is straight at Brice Samba from 18 yards.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    First yellow for Blackpool, and it's Kevin Stewart who earns it for a sliding hand-ball to curtail Brennan Johnson in full-flight.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Much better from Blackpool.

    Great work down the right sees a cross trickle across the six yard box, and Kenny Dougall's shot deflects to earn a corner.

    The set-piece swings across field, then a bullet of a cross by CJ Hamilton is beaten away ferociously by Brice Samba.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Blackpool have shown signs of fight but Forest are cool and composed defensively.

    The visitors pile forward, Philip Zinckernagel slips a pass into Keinan Davis who is hauled down, but again no free kick from Jarrad Gillett.

    He's a Queenslander is Gillett, he's seen Mal Meninga tackle folk, he knows when a card's needed.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    CJ Hamilton arrives at the back post for Blackpool but can't keep his effort from a narrow angle down.

    Scoring now might just set some jitters about Forest.

    Keinan Davis wins a corner at the other end.

    The set-piece is pulled to the edge of the box, Brennan Johnson snaps a half-volley which Tobias Figueiredo guides just wide with a bit of a loop off his head.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Jerry Yates goes down in the Forest box, but the Blackpool striker has any appeals for a spot-kick waved away.

    That got the home fans going.

    Scott McKenna was all over him, grappling away. Poor call really that on reflection.

    They're also under way again at the DW Stadium in this League One derby game.

  9. SECOND HALFpublished at 46 mins

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Blackpool, chastened and cajoled, get us going for the second half.

    It's sunny on the Lancashire coast, but it's the Forest fans enjoying their day at the seaside so far.

    Blackpool are back out. Flea in the ears perhaps...

    HT: Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    What does Neil Critchley do here? Damage limitation at home in front of a passionate crowd feels a bit extreme. Plus, Blackpool did bare their teeth at the back end of the half.

    But, another goal would be painful and might just cue a real rout from a Forest side who have taken their chances so far.

    Friday: Hull 0-1 Huddersfield

    One of the sides enjoying a similar renaissance to Nottingham Forest this season are Huddersfield, after a tough couple of years post-relegation.

    They kept their Championship promotion hopes alive with an impressive 1-0 win at Hull City last night.

    Harry Toffolo with the winner on a chilly night in East Yorkshire.

    Here's the report.

  13. HALF-TIMEpublished at 13:21 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Wigan 1-0 Bolton

    Wigan lead at the break through James McClean's goal.

    They're heading top of League One as it stands.

    Well, I doubt anyone was expecting this.

    Blackpool have one of the best home records in the Championship and yet find themselves 3-0 down.

    There was an element of fortune about a couple of the Nottingham Forest goals, such as the deflection for Philip Zinckernagel's opener.

    Brennan Johnson's first was a scorcher, so was the second, but came from a shambles of a clearance by Dan Grimshaw.

    Forest in control. Blackpool finished the half in the ascendancy, but the scoreline is telling.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Josh Bowler sets his sights with a drive from the edge of the box for Blackpool, but it fizzes wide.

    Scott McKenna is treading a fine line in his tussle with Gary Madine. Bundled him into the net a minute ago and danced a little sultry Tango on the edge of the box just after.

    Two minutes added time.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Forest double up on Josh Bowler on the right with Jack Colback and James Garner, and shut his threat down.

    Everything hoyed into the Forest box has run aground on Joe Worrall, Scott McKenna or even Ryan Yates, who is that defensive insurance policy.

    Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forest

    Two really poor set-pieces from Blackpool are meat and drink to the Forest defence.

    Cleared with ease, under no pressure.

    Dujon Sterling then outpaces Jack Colback and went to get a cross in but is blocked off. Looked like a free-kick to Blackpool for me.

  18. League One latestpublished at 13:09 British Summer Time 2 April 2022

    Wigan 1-0 Bolton

    Wigan are pushing for a second at the DW Stadium. But plenty of frantic Bolton defending is keeping them just one behind.

    Surely only a matter of time? Bolton have offered nothing going forward yet. No shots, no corners.

    GOAL: Blackpool 0-3 Nott'm Forestpublished at 37 mins

    Brennan Johnson

    Two sides of the coin on this goal.

    Howler from Blackpool goalkeeper Dan Grimshaw, who puts his clearance straight at Brennan Johnson, and puts his side under the pump.

    Delicious finishing in turn from Johnson, who nutmegs James Husband, draws Grimshaw and clips a perfect little dink to the far post for a third that might just kill this off.

    Big mountain to climb. Blackpool have delivered a gift.

    Blackpool 0-2 Nott'm Forest

    Djed Spence glides across the turf like a spirit being before reality bites and he's snapped by the Blackpool midfield.

    Such an effortless runner though, and three centre-halves means he gets plenty of chance to get forward for Forest.
